The latter, really. Unlike other projects we're basically a two-man

Actually there's not a lot of malware that does. The last one I
encountered was compromised through the web stack (PHP again of
course) and had the httpd running a cronjob (the OP of course not
having any /etc/cron.{allow,deny}). So since its unexpected and not
something admins would often check it seems reasonable to add such
a check.
